Delicate Flower Chapter 112: Auction
Pei Yan's words made Yu Tang's heart beat like a drum.
What does he mean by this?
If the Yu family is in trouble, for the sake of the folks, no matter what the situation is in the forest, he will buy it to save the Yu family from temporary difficulties.
Is this what she understands?
Her heart beat even harder when she thought about what happened in her previous life.
In the previous life, the Yu family sold the mountains, forests and fields to the Pei family, not only because the Pei family was the richest family in Lin'an City, but also because Pei Yan paid the highest price.
She didn't know Pei Yan at that time.
I thought the Pei family had a lot of money and didn't care about these little things.
But now it seems that although the Pei family has a lot of money, they still take something and not take it.
Obviously, in the previous life, the Pei family bought the Yu family's ancestral property to help the Yu family in disguise, and it did help the Yu family - without the money the Pei family had to buy the land, she would have no money to hire people to salvage it. Even with the corpses of my parents, I didn’t have the money to buy a cemetery for my parents so that they could be buried in peace.
It turned out that Pei Yan had been very kind to her before she knew it!
Yu Tang's eyes suddenly became moist when she thought of the loneliness and helplessness in her previous life, and how someone had given her help and warmth at that time.
Pei Yan looked at her in a daze and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. He waved his hand in front of her eyes and said, "Hey, have you thought about it? Do you need it? Did I help? If you haven’t or haven’t thought about it well, then we can wait until after the tenth day of the lunar month to decide."
Yu Tang was startled and his mind was spinning rapidly.
She said: "I want to continue growing sea buckthorn, and then make candied sea buckthorn and sell it for money. Do you think it's feasible?"
Pei Yan did not expect Yu Tang to be so stubborn.
But this is her choice. Even if it is Nanqiang, she will have to give herself a headache before she looks back.
He reminded Yu Tang: "It takes at least three years for a sea buckthorn tree to bear fruit. You have to think about it."
"Think about it!" Yu Tang took a deep breath.
No matter what reason Pei Yan planted the sea buckthorn tree in his previous life, she felt that as long as he followed his path, he would definitely succeed.
Pei Yan stopped persuading her and said: "If you really decide, then do it well. I hate people who give up halfway."
"Don't worry!" Yu Tang assured him, "I will definitely do a good job."
Pei Yan thought, it’s just a matter of handing over the cultivation.
Who can learn something without paying a little money!
"I still have a few sea buckthorn plants at home," he said. "After the tenth day of the lunar month, you can send someone to dig them up and plant them in your forest. If they survive, they will bear fruit this fall. You will know the taste of the fruit when the time comes."
It's bland and tasteless, and it's really useless if you don't make preserves.
Yu Tang did not expect such an unexpected gain.
In her previous life, she heard that this tree was recommended to him by his friend who was an official in the northwest. In this life, it was Zhou Zijin who dug it from the northwest. I don’t know if the news is from the past life or from this life. But no matter what, she decided to make a batch of candied fruits in advance and let Pei Yan and Mr. Shen, who helped find the seedlings, try them.
Both of them helped her a lot.
Yu Tang respectfully sent Pei Yan away.
Before Pei Yan could sit down after returning home, Pei Man came to see him and brought him some surprising news: "The Wu family lobbied everywhere, and the Tao family, Yin family, Li family, and Sheng family When it was decided to auction it, everyone kept the price at around 5,000 taels of silver. No matter whose family was able to buy the map, they all shared it."
There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.
Pei Yan poured himself a cup of tea nonchalantly, took a leisurely sip, and then said: "Don't worry. I'm not planning to let any one win the bid. If they all agree, then five thousand taels of silver will be given." The map was sold to them. In addition to the deposit of two thousand taels for each family, the Yu family was able to get 20,000 taels of silver. With these 20,000 taels of silver, it was not much, and it was enough for several generations of their family. That’s it. Besides, what’s the use of having more money? If your descendants don’t succeed, they will all be ruined.”
Pei Man said in astonishment: "Isn't it the one with the highest price?"
Pei Yan burst into laughter, looked at him as if he were a fool, and said: "The one with the highest price will get it, do you think it's possible? How much is a high price? I didn't plan to do it from the beginning, just I don’t want them to get it so easily, otherwise they will think that our Pei family has evil intentions and that the map is fake."
There are indeed many people who judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.
Pei Man said: "Then we really don't leave a map?"
The Yu family once said that they would give one to Pei Yan, so if they keep one, it is not considered a breach of contract, right?
Pei Yan shook his head and said: "I know my second senior brother. He will do anything for the sake of his official career. Now the chief minister Shen is old and will be in office in at most two years. He and Li Xun In the fight for the chief minister of the cabinet, with his temperament, he will definitely take action on the Shibosi, and at the same time reshuffle the wealthy families in Jiangnan. Anyone who does not support him will be stepped on in the mud. He and I were originally at odds. If the teacher is still alive, and I have to ask senior brother to remind me, he may have disowned me as his junior brother. It’s better for us not to get involved in this matter.”
Pei Man's expression changed drastically and he nodded repeatedly.
Pei Yan stood up, stretched out, yawned and said, "I slept too late yesterday. I'm going to take a nap today. I have to take care of the Peng family in the afternoon. Tell A Ming." , remember to wake me up when the time comes."
Pei Man responded and ordered the little maid to make a bed for Pei Yan.
When Yu Tang returned home, he was in a daze, always thinking about some details of his previous life. On the day of the auction on the tenth day of the lunar month, Yu Yuan arrived at Yu Tang's house early and nervously waited for the news with Yu Wen.
Although Yu Tang was sitting in the study, he was a little absent-minded.
She was thinking about the rumors about Pei Yan in her previous life.
Everyone knows very little about him, and they don’t even know whose girl he married. I haven't heard that he has children. I don't know if he doesn't want others to know or if he doesn't have children after getting married.
She was so stupid in her previous life. Why didn't you think about why the Pei family paid a higher price than others to buy their forest? However, even if she knew, with her previous character and courage, she would probably not dare to thank the Pei family. And the Li family, who obtained the map in their previous life, colluded with the Peng family, and became the second largest family in Lin'an after the Pei family. Who knows how much influence it has on the Pei family? Also, Pei Yan said that the imperial court wanted to withdraw the shipping companies in Ningbo and Quanzhou, but in her memory, it seemed that the shipping companies in Ningbo and Quanzhou were still there until her death...
Thinking of this, Yu Tang almost jumped up.
Yes, why didn't she think of using the information she knew in her previous life to repay the Pei family?
In her previous life, it had little to do with her whether the shipping companies in Ningbo and Quanzhou would withdraw or not, but the Pei family was different. Their family is engaged in big business. Even if he doesn't want to do the maritime business, there must be someone he knows or a relative who does the maritime business. She can reveal this news to Pei Yan, and then Pei Yan can use this information to communicate with others. Make a deal, or let his relatives and friends reduce their losses!
The more Yu Tang thought about it, the more feasible it became.
She wandered around the room, her desire to see Pei Yan burning like a prairie fire, burning brighter and brighter.
Yu Wen looked at him and whispered to Yu Yuan: "Look at Ah Tang, he said he has grown up and has ideas, but at this age, he is still a little unable to calm down when encountering problems."
After working hard for so long, he finally got rid of the map, and Yu Yuan was happy from the bottom of his heart.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "Aren't these all family members? If there are outsiders, she must have endured it. You can't help praising her for being calm and responsible. Uncle, please stop being picky!"
Yu Wen smiled silently and said to Yu Tang: "Stop spinning, it makes me dizzy. The Pei family is a reputable family, and they will send the auction money intact to our home. Yes. You are spinning around like this, which makes my heart panic."
Yu Tang smiled and did not explain why he was wandering around. Instead, he calmed down, sat down and drank two cups of tea, then went back to the house and made two silk flowers before waiting for someone from the Pei family to report the news.
"The total deposit and auction proceeds are twenty-seven thousand taels of silver." The visitor was a man of about thirty years old, with a very ordinary appearance, wearing an ordinary blue coarse cloth trousers, and spoke slowly and slowly. , claiming to be Chen Qi, the accountant of the Pei family, "According to what I said before, they are all deposited in the bank of the Pei family. Here are the banknotes. Please count them, Mr. Yu, so that I can go back and pay the account." He finished. , took out a box, "It is full of one thousand taels of silver notes. This is also the largest denomination of bank notes in the Pei family bank."
Twenty-seven thousand taels? !
Everyone in the Yu family was stunned for a moment.
Yu Yuan couldn't hide the joy and excitement in his heart. He glanced at Yu Tang and quietly clenched his fists.
Yu Wen is also very happy. He coughed lightly, took the box and handed it to Yu Yuan without even looking at it. He stood up and saluted Chen Qi and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen. We have prepared drinks at home. Please don't dislike it, Mr. Chen. Have a glass of wine at home and then go back."
Who would have known that Chen Qi said with a straight face: "Master Yu~IndoMTL.com~ The silver note was given by the third master himself. Several people in the accounting room looked at the box, and I brought it here alone. Please count it again. , if there is no error, we will talk about other things."
Yu Wen smiled nonchalantly and said: "Since Mr. Chen is the accountant of the Pei family, what else can't you trust? There must be nothing wrong..."
"I'd better ask Mr. Yu to count it again." Mrs. Chen didn't want to talk to Yu Wen at all and insisted on counting the money in person.
Yu Wen was a little unhappy and felt that Chen Qixin could not trust him as a person.
Yu Tang sighed secretly in his heart and had no choice but to persuade his father: "Dad, you believe in the Pei family. That is your trust in the Pei family. But Mr. Chen is the accountant and has his own set of requirements for the accountant's behavior. So It's a big sum of money. If you don't count it in person, how can he go back and pay the account? You should listen to Mr. Chen and count the money in person!"
Yu Wen then joined Yu Yuan and Chen Qi to count the banknotes.
What the Pei family sent here was delivered to Chen Qi personally by Pei Yan, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Yu Wen thought, now Chen Qi can feel free to have a drink with him, right?
Chen Qi still refused: "I came here in the third master's carriage, and I have to rush back to deliver a errand. If you want to thank me, just thank our third master! I am just an errand boy."
He didn't give Yu Wen any face, and made Yu Wen so angry that he didn't even see Chen Qi out in person, but asked Yu Yuan to see him off for him.
Chen Qi did not feel slighted, bowed to Yu Wen, and followed Yu Yuan out of the study.
